As CNN reports, New Jersey is flying its flags at half-staff today in Clemons' honor. It's a fitting tribute to a man who was very much a part of the state's cultural landscape.According to CNN, New Jersey governor Chris Christie says, "Clarence Clemons represented the soul and spirit of New Jersey. His partnership with Bruce Springsteen and the rest of the E Street Band brought great pride to our state and joy to every fan of this music around the world... On a personal note, when I heard about the Big Man's passing on Saturday night, I was struck with an overwhelming feeling that the days of my youth were now finally over. My condolences to Clarence's family and all the members of the E Street Band."
